Knowing that posts about Idol bring an amount of scorn, I nevertheless feel it's time...there are 11 contestants left, Casey was cut tonight but the judges used their one save to keep him in the contest. All 11 will take part in Idol nationwide tour this summer. I always have favorites and by now, usually can guess the finalists. I have my favorites but honestly have no idea who will make the finals, this years group is outstanding! I don't see Casey, Haley, Lauren, Paul, Thia or Stefano in the finals but any of the other 5 wouldn't surprise me and quite frankly if one of the above six made it, I wouldn't be shocked. Anyway, my top 5 are: Naima (my personal favorite), Jacob, Scotty, James, and Pia (early favorite of judges I think).
Naimi...just something about her, not the best voice but certainly good enough. Her stage presence is outstanding, great dancer, she is completely at home on stage.
Jacob...gospel background, great range and hits high notes.
Scotty...17 year old country boy with deep voice. knows he's a country singer and capable of translating any type song into country.
James...this year's rocker with great range, hits high notes like Steven Tyler, first contestant to ever do Judas Priest on show.
Pia...beautiful girl, elegant, great voice, hits all the notes, only ballads so far so have to see her do upbeat songs but doubt she'll have a problem.
